Member of Parliament S. Byambatsogt has asked Prime Minister U. Khurelsukh for clarification about the current state of winter preparations and action being taken.
Cabinet organized preparations for winter for 160,900 herder households and 66.6 million livestock. Pasture capacity for winter and spring makes up 25 percent of the nation's land but demand for pasture is three times greater than capacity.
The Prime Minister noted that the Law on Pastureland needs to be ratified, a tax on livestock should be applied, and livestock should enter into economic circulation to create better pasture management. In order to increase pasture grass, 40 billion MNT has been included in the state budget for the purchase of seed.
Work to prepare additional grass and seed will be finished by December 25.
